Giving to the Coast & Environment

Louisiana鈥檚 geography and natural resources are directly linked to the lives and livelihoods of the people who live here. Changes in coastal and environmental conditions鈥攚hether they are due to hurricanes, flooding, a sinking coastline, or another cause-- directly impact our communities, animals, industry, and natural ecosystems. Unfortunately for Louisiana, such changes are occurring rapidly. Time is of the essence as we work to stabilize and maintain our coastal environment.

We can only accomplish this if we have the right resources.

Gifts to this fund provide immediate-use support for students, faculty, and programs, enabling the college to respond quickly as opportunities arise.
